Discovering, Creating, Problem-Solving, or All Three?
Katharine HeidelbachOctober 23, 2013Avatar Paragraph Hi, my name is Kinbingin, a.k.a., Katharine. I have an awesome picture if you did not see it. In the picture, I am discovering people can find 100 dollar bills on the road. It is very possible. You can find anything on the road. In my picture, I’m in the background staring at them dancing because they are so happy. One of them was bitten by a shark. I hope you like my picture.

PROBLEM:
How Do We Build a Catapult?
ASK:
What is Our Challenge?
The Angry Bird Competition is on … Angry Bird and Piggy Friends unite! To retrieve your stolen eggs, Angry Birds, your team will need to build a catapult with only the materials provided to you, as outlined in the following steps of this “Small Group Challenge: Marshmallow Catapults”: Challenge: Each group will design and build a marshmallow catapult using the following materials: 1 meter of masking tape; 2 plastic cups; 4 rubber bands; 2 plastic spoons; 2 paper clips; 15 cm x 15 cm piece of cardboard; large (standard size) and small (mini size) marshmallows to launch. Goal: Launch a marshmallow at least 5 meters (in the air) and not outside of a ½ meter width. What is a Catapult?

A catapult was a simple machine. It was an important weapon. The catapult gets its energy by winding potential energy. There are 3 kinds of catapults. They used catapults for wars and all that stuff you need for weapons. It’s a very violent machine. The materials we will use to build our catapults are spoons, rubber bands, popsicle sticks. Also, we will launch the catapult with marshmallows.
IMAGINE:
What are Some Solutions?
What is the Best Possible Solution?
Why did Our Team Choose This Solution?
PLAN:
What is a Diagram / Orthographic Design of Our Prototype?
CREATE:
What does Our Finished Construct Look Like?
IMPROVE:
What works, what doesn't work, and what could work better from Our Testing?
What are We going to do to address the Challenges We Faced with Our Construct?
PRESENTATION:
How do We Catapult Ourselves into Problem Based Learning?
